Periodic Table of Supercars

[Bud Tugley]

Help! I am making a periodic table on cars for my science class, and I would like some help. My main restriction is that the car has to have a 0-60 time of 5 seconds or less. So far, I have cars from Porsche, BMW, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Saleen, McLaren, Aston Martin, McLaren, and Shelby. If I'm missing any major brands or you have some tips or questions, please reply!

you are missing the Ford GT, it goes from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. and you are also missing the Koenigsegg CC, it goes from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Hope these 2 help you with you're project

Matt I wouldnt follow the ">5sec" rule so strictly, i wouldnt by any means consider the M3 a supercar, teh CSL is, but just barely. Same goes for the EVO VIII base model... and I dont know about the STI, maybe.

The definition of supercar must have changed a lot sence yesterday, because I remember a time when people were in debate over wether or not the NSX could be considered a Supercar. I guess the standerda have been lowered.

Ariel Atom>>>> 2.9!

[Coventrysucks]

Probably any model of Caterham, Westfield, Radical, Ariel, Ultima etc.

Really if you are going just by a sub 5.0s 0-60 run then the list of cars will probably be several hundered.

[r1ckst4]

yea... cut it down to 3.5 second and under you'll end up with a little fewer... but still a lot. Do the cars have to be road legal though?

[danno]

um..........so how exactly are you going to do this?

are you gonna make a table? thats gonna be really tricky to organise in such a way that it makes sense.

We are talking about supercars, so i guess thay have to be a production supercar, therefore road legal.

Calling it a "periodic table" rather than just a list, I'm interested in what you're using on the second dimension. 0-60 is just one measure of "supercar" status, what else are you adding ?

To help you out w/ this, you could probably organize the table similarly to the periodic table by using gas-mileage, classification (coupe, salloon, etc.), top speed, handling, 0-60 <5, 0-60 <4, 0-60<3, and so on. Good luck, seems interesting, but quite a bit of work for sure.
